In a small, sealable container, mix flax seeds with 1/2 cup of water and shake vigorously. This forms a gel.

Pour flax gel into the stand mixer bowl with 1/3 cup of xylitol, and beat with whisk attachment for about 3-4 minutes.

In a separate bowl, sift the baking powder, salt and flour into the chocolate mixture and stir gently.

Turn the stand mixer on low with the flax mixture and and slowly add in the chocolate mixture.

Mix on low for 2 minutes.

Pour batter into silicone mold or cake tin of your choice.

Bake for about 17-20 minutes until cooked through.

While cake is baking, strain the spinach mixture with a fine tooth strainer, extracting the green coloring.

Remove the cake from the oven and cool in the refrigerator to expedite the cooling time.

When cake is fully cooled, crumble it up into the stand mixer bowl! (this seems wrong but it works)

Attach the paddle to the stand mixer and add in the fruit jam to the crumbled cake until just combined and sticks together.

Form approximately 12 egg-shaped "balls".

Place these cake balls on a shallow tray lined with baking/parchment paper pan chill for about an hour.

Meanwhile, gently fold together the shredded coconut, green colouring and 1T of xylitol.

Then melt the remaining 10 oz of chocolate.

**This is where it gets interesting!

Prepare the foam ahead of time. I generally hate foam as it is toxic. So I wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and use a metal skewer to poke holes (pre-drill, as my husband would say :) where I will then push each cake pop into. Leave space for each when pre-drilling :)

Push a cookie stick in a cake ball, dip it in chocolate, sprinkle with green coconut, top with jelly beans, and then push the stick into the foam to hold it up.

Repeat with all cake balls, and then chill until ready to serve. YUMMO!

You could use your any toppings you like for your cake pops. But this is the version Becky likes to make!
